Modern information and communication technologies make the learning possible any where, any time. The emerging and evolving technologies are creating a knowledge era, changing the educational landscape, and facilitating the learning innovations. In recent years educators find ways to cultivate curiosity, nurture creativity and engage the mind of the learners by using innovative approaches. Contemporary Approaches to Research in Learning Innovations explores approaches to research in learning innovations from the learning sciences view. Learning sciences is an interdisciplinary field that draws on multiple theoretical perspectives and research with the goal of advancing knowledge about how people learn. The field includes cognitive science, educational psychology, anthropology, computer and information science and explore pedagogical, technological, sociological and psychological aspects of human learning. Research in this approaches examine the social, organizational and cultural dynamics of learning environments, construct scientific models of cognitive development, and conduct design-based experiments. Contemporary Approaches to Research in Learning Innovations covers research in developed and developing countries and scalable projects which will benefit everyday learning and universal education. Recent research includes improving social presence and interaction in collaborative learning, using epistemic games to foster new learning, and pedagogy and praxis of ICT integration in school curricula.

11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When I gave serious consideration to writing this book, the school which was at the centre of this research on capacity building for school improvement became the focus. I was part of this school s journey towards improvement both prior to and during the research process. This gave me the much needed insight to construct the model on capacity building for school improvement portrayed in this book. Recording the journey this group of school stakeholders took towards improving their school meant that I am able to share their practices on capacity building with educators from around the world. The book captures this school s journey from the viewpoint of attributes, practices and themes that underpin capacity building. Working with this school s stakeholders has been a privilege, not just for the insights they gave me on building capacity for school improvement, and why, but also for the opportunity to meet, talk and pursue their views on improvement aligned to improving outcomes for students. This book is very much their story. With this in mind, my grateful thanks are extended to all stakeholders who have generously welcomed me into their school, made time to talk to me and allowed me to observe their practices. To the most committed and dedicated educators I have had the good fortune to meet, I wish to express my deepest thanks. I wish to thank Dr. Myint Swe Khine, associate professor and head of Science, Mathematics and ICT Academic Group at Bahrain Teachers College who encouraged me to write this book. I m not sure how these things work out but I suspect that talking to Myint set off a chain of reactions that culminated in the writing of this book. I wish to thank my colleagues for their encouragement and support. In particular, my sincere thanks to Samia who helped in the formatting of this book. Finally, I dedicate this book to my family who have always supported me. I would like to thank my mum Doris for her encouragement. I would like to thank my husband Geoff who contributed significantly to this effort in his own talented way. I also want to thank my son John for his contributions and for all that he does by way of support. xi
